Need help with a simple Q

you guy's are probably going to laugh, and I am probably going to kick myself but I have one Q left to answer and I'm haveing a brain fart. Does anyone know "What type of # is suspected if the casualty presents with "bilateral periorbital eechymosis"? and what other signs and symptoms might be present"?

Thanks,

Bolts

Skull fracture. Other signs might include post-auricular bruising.

Could be zygoma, nasal or orbital fractures in the facial bones. I would also check neuro status as obviously there was a CHI.

Not much help I know. Good luck.

Typical answer is basilar skull fracture. Might also see bruising behind ears (Battle's Sign), clear drainage from ears and or nose. The bruising around the eyes is "Raccon Eyes."
